Docker 1.12 adds support for cluster management and orchestration called
[swarm mode](https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/). Docker Engine running in swarm mode currently
only supports the built-in overlay driver for networking. Therefore existing
networking plugins will not work in swarm mode.
[Legacy plugins](legacy_plugins.md) do not work in swarm mode. However,
